'One
of
the
crucial
and
most
moving
episodes
of
twentieth
century
British
history
has
now
found
its
worthy
historian.
Peter
Leese
writes
the
story
of
shell
shock
with
expertise
and
flair,
with
critical
detachment
and
compassion.
Avoiding
judgementalism,
he
brings
out
the
full
enormity
of
this
tragic
story.'

'The book fills a glaring gap in our historical knowledge.' - Mark Micale, Associate Professor of History, University of Illinois
'Shell shock was born as a condition in 1915 but has grown to become a metaphor for the horrors of total war. Leese tells the story of that evolution with learning, sympathy and a shrewd sense of the way medical history can illuminate our understanding of the violent twentieth-century as a whole.' - Professor Jay Winter, Department of History, Yale University
'...a powerful and authoritative study of the war's mental legacy.' - Ben Shephard, Times Literary Supplement
'Those willing to pay attention, however, will be rewarded by this first full-length treatment of Britain's 'shell-shock' experience.' - Maureen T. Moore, Journal of Military History
'...an interesting contribution both to medical history and to the continuing debate about...WWI. - T.L. Crosby, Choice
